DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) – On Wednesday, the Dallas City Council will vote on whether to spend $610,000 to settle a high-profile police misconduct lawsuit stemming from the 2013 shooting of Kelvion Walker by then-Senior Cpl. Amy Wilburn.

In the past five years, the City of Dallas has spent nearly $7.4 million to settle dozens of lawsuits against Dallas police officers and another $2.4 million to pay for outside attorneys to fight the cases.

A CBS 11 I-Team investigation found many of these police misconduct lawsuits get tied up in the court system for years.

According to city records, Dallas is currently involved in more than 30 lawsuits against police officers, including several that were filed more than five years ago.
